Why it worked

The video taps into a common user concern about online privacy and data collection, presenting a clear and direct warning against popular browsers. The use of on-screen text and a conversational tone makes the information easily digestible and shareable.

Summary

The video warns viewers against using three specific web browsers: Opera GX, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge. The creator explains that these browsers are problematic due to data collection, performance issues, and security concerns, advising viewers to switch to alternatives for better privacy and speed.

Structure

1Introduction to the problem of tracked browsing
2Opera GX: data collection and Chinese ownership concerns
3Google Chrome: data collection and performance issues
4Microsoft Edge: frequent updates, data collection, and performance issues
5Conclusion and offer for alternative recommendations

Product placement

Opera GX: a web browser that acts as a gaming-focused browser, it is shown to be slow and collect data. Removing it would change the video's topic. Google Chrome: a web browser, it is shown to collect data and be slow. Removing it would change the video's topic. Microsoft Edge: a web browser, it is shown to have frequent updates and collect data. Removing it would change the video's topic.

Transcript

Alright, these are worst browsers you can use if you're trying to use the internet without being tracked. A lot of people, including myself, don't wanna be tracked on the internet. And then all of a sudden everything you look and say becomes an ad marketed towards you. So you really need to get off of these. Okay, the first one is Opera GX, and this one actually has so much gamified bloat that it's actually slowing down your computer. Opera GX is owned by a Chinese company called Conlan Tech. So if you're worried about your data going over to China, then yeah, don't use this browser. It collects just about as much data as Google Chrome does on you. And guess what? Google Chrome is my next browser. You guys know Chrome? Google is not a search company, they are an ad company. So they wanna collect as much data on you as possible. Google also has a ton of bloatware, so if they can collect as much data on you as possible, it's gonna use up more memory, thus making your machine a lot slower. It also fails the privacy benchmarks too. The last browser I do not use is Microsoft Edge. If you thought Chrome was bad, Microsoft Edge gets a random update almost every single week that nobody asked for. It has just as much data collection as Chrome, if not more. But on top of all of that, it has so much security and stability performance issues that it just sucks. And on top of that, if you are on Windows, you are not allowed to install it unless you go down a deep rabbit hole. Okay, hope this helps. If you guys want recommendations instead, I can drop a video tomorrow, but let me know. Love you guys. Bye!
